Hey I am on the team at PlanetScale and you are 100% correct about that. One of the great decisions we made was that our SaaS is the OSS version of Vitess so even if we went away you would still be able to continue with Vitess. Also we are working on rolling out BYOK ( bring your own Kubernetes ) as a deploy option so the databases and Vitess components all reside in your Account not in ours.


> OSS version of Vitess

Isn't Vitess already open source (Apache 2.0 from their site)? Or did you mean to say managed/hosted/DBaaS version of Vitess?


It is Apache 2 and thats the only version we will deploy, there isn't a Proprietary version that planetscale will use in the background. This isn't a fork or even a re-licensed version of Vitess. Everything we develop goes into the Apache 2 OSS project


I just spotted Chris on the Planetscale About page; I worked with him at Infomix years ago! I dropped a nite via your site's web form.
